"The history of native plants 1508-1999
in North America" The first native
North American perennial grasses were cut by a sword for horse
feed in 1508. Now that we have cut most of them (99.99%) off of

"The story of the Native California Purple Needlegrasses,
winning over the evil introduced European weed grasses, that have
covered 99.99% of the State." First the remaining Needlegrass
plants take phosphorus and make viable seeds, the yellow and orange
indicates the phosphorus being stored in their seeds.

Then the Stipa
seeds use their natural allelopathic herbicide-like chemicals
to battle the European foxtail seeds, and suppress the foxtail
seeds from even germinating.

Then, the seedlings
grow into mature Purple needlegrass plants, which produce more
seeds...

...Those seeds then
sprout into brand new needlegrass seedlings.

but as the name of the mountains suggest, the sheep ate them away
a long time ago.
